Wearing his trademark black leather jacket, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Tuesday delivered a highly anticipated keynote at Gartner’s IT Symposium/Xpo where he talked about a range of leadership topics.

Nvidia has experienced meteoric success with its graphics processing units (GPUs). Once thought of mainly as a processor to handle graphics intense workloads, like video games, it turned out that the high-performance units were also efficient tools for large language models (LLMs).
